As the weather continues to shift to spring, it's only natural that we start thinking about summer, right? Summer equals festivals for a lot of us, so this week we checked in with Chris Kaskie of Pitchfork Media to talk about what goes into putting together the Pitchfork Music Festival, coming up this July.

And is it abnormal to start getting excited about Halloween already? Maybe, but when the Fangoria Horror festival was just a few days ago, it makes a little more sense - we hope. We checked in with John Aranza, owner of Horrorbles in Berwyn, to see how the festival was and just to geek out about horror stuff for a little while.
